Here I want us to compile a list of Films that come up in class discussions and in your own brain as you read the American Literature we're covering this year. Unfortunately, we cannot watch them all in class--or really any of them--but they can be a good basis for us as we rent movies throughout the year. Please be sure to link the Film to the piece of literature it ties to and/or the idea from class it ties to and give the IMDb (Internet Movie Database) page for the movie.
